Mom, I will definitely miss you! You were (Still will be) my BESTEST friend, confidante, protector, mentor, and everything else! I loved being there for you and dad, day in and day out! You made my life worth living, so caring and concerned about me and ALL of my siblings! I hope you are now at rest with Dad and God in Heaven. Please keep a place safe and warm for me, and please tell your buddy God not to keep me away from you and Dad too long! Until then...

Mom, I'm coming Mom!



I miss you mom & Dad!

Dear Fonck Family,



I was so sad to read about the death of your mother. My maiden name is Ryan, and I attended the College of St. Teresa with Rose. I was in the class a year behind her.



You and your family will be in my prayers today, and in the coming days as you console each other...and celebrate the life of a wonderful Mom.



Love, Ceil Ryan D'Acquisto
